Taker Times is Back

This is a personal blog entry that might not interest people who were not my college mates. It's a part of a monthly newsletter that I used to bring out called 'Taker Times' and comprises of gossip news circulating around.

The reason for putting it here - To force them to visit my blog!

Baaj-Hasan!

For all those who have heard of tales of immortal friendship, shed tears when Rajender Kumar let go off Vaijyanti Mala for the sake of a pervert Raj Kapoor in Sangam, Sang Imli ka boota beri ka ped when Dilip kumar aka Dada Bir and Raj Kumar aka Rajeshwar Singh got together to kill the villainous Chuniya mama in Saudagar, you will love this piece.

We carried out a survey recently and asked people to judge the ideal couple who share a unique bond of friendship. The results were overwhelmingly in favor of the friendship of our very own Saurabh Bajpai (Baaj) and Saidul paaji(Hasan from Saidul Hasan Siddiqui).

Thier bond goes back several years. They came from the same city - Kanpur, were admitted to the same college - IIT Kanpur, in the same branch - MME, they joined the same company after graduation - INFY, they both left it at around the same time to again be together ina nother company - GSSL. Subsequently, baaj joined TECHSPAN and needless to say, Saidul followed suit and joined TECHSPAN at the same location within a month's time. Bajpai then got an offer from a company based in Singapore and lo!! Saidul too got an offer from Singapore within a month of Bajpai getting an offer. Some call it coincidence but I call it destiny. Friendship does find a way. I was so inspired by their bond that I decided to morph them as Jai and Veeru of Sholay fame as a tribute and mark of respect for this special relationship that they share. Please view the attached image to understand how deeply I am moved by this.

I have also written a parody to celebrate their freindship which also symbolises communal harmony:

"Mere do anmol ratan
Ek padhe namaaz aur doosra gaaye bhajan
Baaj- Hasan..Baaj-Hasan"

Nangu granted special US VISA

Nangu is a happy man these days. Not only has he been spared from any major bout of illness for the past 12 months, news coming to us also suggest that he has been granted special US VISA to be with his family in the west coast in US.

When contacted, Nangu did not verify the news and tried to deviate from the topic by saying that his role in anti reservation stir forced Arjun Singh to plead the US Government to take him away from India. As a result of which TT was forced to carry out a sting operation on Nangu. It was revealed in the operation that Nangu misses his extended family in US. Some portion of the recording contained censored comments sow e are releasing the edited version of it:

Reporter: Haanji aap is saal India mein hi ho?
Nangu: Ha ha ha ha..haan mera mulk mera desh mera ye watan

Reporter: Humne to kuch aur suna hai.
Nangu:Hum to badnaam hain..kuch sun liya hoga

Reporter: Nahi suna hai aap Amreeka jaa rahe hain..ghar pariwaar ke logon ke beech
Nangu: Haan wo jayenge kuch din ke liye..fir wahan ki hawa acchi lagi to reh lenge..hum global citizen banNe mein vishwaas rakhte hain.

Reporter: To kya wo Arjun Singh wali baat
Nangu: He he ho ho..tum bhi kya c**** wali baat karte ho yaar..Arjun Singh ki kaun sunta hai. Chalo ab bottle kholo..tumne waada kiya tha ki mujhe pilaoge tabhi main aaya.

Reporter: Haanji sir lijiye..aapke liye khaas subeh subeh ped se utarwaayi hai. Pijiye.

Gupta ji is the next Iron Man

Hon' His Highness Holy Spirit Guptaji joined US Steel and started to change the destiny of USA. Within two months of his joining the company, all neighbouring wooden houses have been replaced with Steel houses. People's perception has changed in the region. While they used to earlier refer to him as that 'Brown guy from Srilanka', now they have started calling him the 'Iron Man with a heart of Gold'. Guptaji also has a number of female admirers and the latest fad in town is to engrave the words 'Ghopta Badhiya Hai' or emboss a tattoo showing 32 human teeth on arms and other preferred places.

Gupta is fast on track to become the new age Laxmi Mittal with the charisma of..what's that guy's name..richard branson!
